Thanks for that AussieShaymen. I missed the not for profit bit. Good luck with that. It sounds like you need a philanthropist or someone with a bit of vision.

It looks like the first step is to understand why there's a shortfall of £160K a year and what the chances are of being able to address that.
I take your point about Halifax being a bigger club historically. Really, rather than looking at us you should be taking a good look at how Spirites have managed to turn things around imho.

OK. Thanks for that. It explains why the council expected our club to address all the H&S issues.

I am party to a similar lease. 25 years in our case. The rent is adjusted every five years. An opportunity for the landlord to turn the screw.

I'm surprised that the feeling at Halifax is that the council should find a third party who is willing to buy the ground and lease it back to the sports clubs. At the moment the council are running the ground at a loss.
Any third party will most likely be wanting to make a handsome profit.

So how does our situation differ from that of FC Halifax. Are we leasing the ground from Trafford Borough?

I tried to register on the Shay men forum to find out what's going on but they don't seem to be signing up new members at the moment. Probably trying to avoid an influx of trolls

I first picked the story up on the rugby clubs facebook page. They're in the mire too

35 page thread and counting. Although it has got to the point of discussing Nazi beliefs and German front line...

Brilliant!

A drifting thread.

Calderdale council are looking to address a shortfall in their future budget. One option they are considering is selling The Shay.

I can't see what the fans take on things are. You have to register to view their forum.

The upside is we will be fresh for the appearance of Rochdale. We need three points on Tuesday

Southend fans are none too confident this will go ahead. Like us they've got a chunk of pitch in front of one of the stands that stays in shadow and remains frozen.

He will either become a hero or totally disillusioned. How strange!

Just spotted in the Derbyshire Times one of their defenders had to go to hospital after the game. I wish him well. I think it must have been the clash with Linney. Did anyone see what happened?

Agree with the other comments. It didn't feel like a defeat and I was feeling comfortable most of the time against the run away league leaders at their place. It was so good to see where we are compared with a team that is nailed on to win the league.

I thought the pitch had a lot to do with the quality of the football last night. It looked so much better than ours is at the moment. They've obviously had less rain.

I'm hoping Dan will go to Southend and have a point to prove at the weekend.

Next Tuesday we've all got a point to prove because we were pretty poor at Spotland. Nothing less than an emphatic victory required.

Stream was working or me from 7.45. Must be a local problem.
Good equaliser!

I agree that it will be a waste if we lose but we are going there with more fresh legs than we would have done if we'd put out our strongest team.

I think Parky has had his priorities set for him.

I saw the team and thought "Yep, we're obviously saving ourselves for Tuesday". This was reinforced by the walking football that was being played at times. We had our chances but didn't take them. We missed the goal several times by a fine margin but also Ethan pulled off some fine saves. The game could have gone either way before we got to penalties.

It could be that finishing third is the target. If we get one playoff game at home anything could happen. If we finish sixth or seventh I really don't fancy our chances.

I just invited my son to view our forum. He's never been here before. He came back quickly and said it's broken. I explained the circumstances and he suggests a recent change to chromium is the culprit. All browsers except safari are underpinned by chromium so we can expect a fall off in visitors going forward unless we can get someone to investigate what is happening.
